Well, yes, of course.  Of course, a set of competencies for Australian pipeline engineers has to include, as one of the core topics, a general competency for knowing AS2885.  

“Knowing” AS2885 (or any standard) requires skills in applying and interpreting the content. We say it often: AS2885 is not a textbook to learn by. It won’t teach you about pipeline engineering. The Standard is the minimum requirement to operate by.

It’s a reasonable amount of work required to *really* understand AS2885. It doesn’t happen just by reading it.  It’s better to be read with an actual pipeline situation in mind.
